we're getting closer 
So, I need to change the onboard pullups from 2k to 330Ohm ? :O
Edit: saw your edit, right now. That's what I thought and wanted to express with the sinking- inputs "P.S" in my prior post.
But then, we are at the HAl-Connection point, which I asked yesterday

To use the 7I77 encoder input you would need to
add external 330 ohm pull downs to A and B
You could use the 7I77s MPG inputs directly.

Yeah, that's clear now to me.
I'm just not completely sure, how to set up the HAL for this.
Actually, I have:
The count and axis selection is (more or less), as PNCconf proposes it.
As I saw in an other thread, I have to add a mux4 and send the signals into it. That's exactly, where I'm not sure, how to do it

if you want to use the MPG counter, it would be something like:
hm2_5i25.0.7i77.0.0.enc0.count
hm2_5i25.0.7i77.0.0.enc0.count

Ah, so I don't need a mux4- element ?
Just net the hm2_5i25.0.7i77.0.0.enc0.count ?
Edit:
I tried the following:
Set 7i77 to Mode 3 byand connect the signal
but get an error "pin doesn't exist"
so I'll try to figure out by searching halshow, which pin it is
Edit 2:
Note to myself: I'm stupid. It should be [...] 300xxx[...] istead of [...]003xxx[...}
I am able to read the count now! thank you very much, PCW !

The mux4 is used to select the jog increments

Put this in your custom.hal. It should get you a working mpg using enc0. You are using 7i77 you you will need to change to suit your mesa setup.
